The New Academic Year 2007-2008
Bibles for a
Classroom Teacher
By Andrew Gardner
I would recommend the following books: Teaching Children to Care, The First six weeks of School and other books published by the Northeast Foundation for Children (NEFC). These books were bibles for me when I was a classroom teacher, guiding me to set a tone of order, care and shared ownership within the classroom culture. I still refer to them constantly to help identify best practice for creating a responsive classroom.
